This does not seem like an unattended-upgrades issue.
See the DpkgTerminalLog.txt file.

u-a is correctly triggering the package manager (that's what it does).
The error seems to be in update-rc.d, caused by the minidlna package:

insserv: There is a loop between service minidlna and lineakd if stopped
insserv: loop involving service lineakd at depth 2
insserv: loop involving service minidlna at depth 1
insserv: Stopping lineakd depends on minidlna and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!
insserv: exiting now without changing boot order!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header

14.10 is past end-of-life. Does this issue still occur in a newer release of Ubuntu?
